Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 3/4 cup buttermilk
- 2 cups fresh peaches, peeled and chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine chopped peaches, brown sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Mix well and set aside to meld flavors.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add cold, cubed butter and cut in with a pastry cutter or fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually pour in buttermilk, stirring until just combined. Chill the dough for 15-20 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a rectangle. Spread peach filling evenly over the surface. Roll into a tight log and cut into 1-inch slices.
- Place slices into a greased muffin tin, standing upright. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Brush with honey or jam while warm for a shiny glaze.
Notes
- Use ripe, fresh peaches for maximum sweetness.
- Chill the dough to ensure flaky layers.
- Try adding ginger or cloves to the spice mix for variation.
- Grease the muffin tin well or use cupcake liners for easy removal.
